Story Circle Network: National Memoir Conference

If you are a member of SCN and have an annual family income of $50,000 or less, you may apply for a scholarship. These will be awarded in amounts ranging from $75 to the full conference cost, depending on need and the availability of funds. Additionally, we may be able to assist with travel/lodging (but we can't confirm the availability of travel/lodging money until January, 2006). If you would like to apply for a scholarship, please answer the following questions.

Scholarships will be based on perceived need, the thoughtfulness of your response, and your interest in sharing what you learn in your community (for example, by starting a writing circle or developing other women's story-sharing activities). Our desire is to encourage the attendance of a diverse group of women who want to share their stories and help other women enjoy the benefits of women's story-telling and story-sharing.

Scholarship Application deadline: December 15, 2005
If you request a subsidy, you must pay a $75 deposit towards your conference fees. If you receive a subsidy, you will then pay the remaining fee (the $195 full conference fee, minus the subsidy, minus your $75 deposit). This amount must be paid by January 10, 2006. If you do not receive an award your deposit will be returned or applied to your full registration.

We ask that those who receive subsidies help out during the conference by working in a volunteer capacity; our volunteer coordinator will contact the recipients to assign them a shift/job.
